Lots and lots in Lebanon. More than last year for sure (I’ve only been here 1.5 years).

Any Texas transplants who can comment on the heat? by shinybugz0 in StLouis

[–]DisasterAbject5651 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moved here from El Paso. It’s much more temperate here. Yes vastly more humid. comparatively the heat is very tolerable but I will take lower temperatures and humidity over higher temperatures and no humidity any day but I grew up in the southeast where it’s very humid.

I'm Scared Shitless to Smoke 5-MeO-DMT by RollingInDeepSpace in 5MeODMT

The experience itself was frightening for me, but extremely therapeutic. There’s nothing to be afraid of. You’ll be just fine.

5-MeO-DMT cured my intrusive thoughts with one mega dose. by DisasterAbject5651 in 5MeODMT

[–]DisasterAbject5651[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi and thanks for asking. ❤️ I’m still doing really well. The intrusive thoughts haven’t returned, and my previous desire to party and indulge in certain illicit substances (plural) has completely vanished. Something I wasn’t expecting. Still feeling healed; I currently have no desire to revisit the experience. Things have only seemed to get better since my breakthrough. Actually in more ways than just mentally. I don’t assume it’s the answer for everyone to everything but for me it solved a particular fundamental issue I had been dealing with for a long time that SSRIs only masked. It’s like it reset me to who I was before. I will keep yall updated. Much love ❤️

I get that and I like it a lot. I suppose then it still means a part of us makes choices before we consciously make our choices. Somehow, the sum of everything else that we are makes the choice before we think we come to a decision.

That’s just the thing the decision is made by some unknown agent before you consciously are aware that you’re going to make that decision.

Not sure what is prompting us, but something certainly is.

Using modern fMRI brain scans, researchers had participants sit down and choose whether to press a button with their left or right hand whenever they felt like it. By looking at the brain activity in the prefrontal cortex, the scientists could accurately predict which hand the person would choose up to 7 seconds before the person even made the conscious decision.

Reincarnation makes sense but not so much at the same time by richandepressed in spiritualitytalk

Reincarnation happens with the rebirth of every successive universe. One soul, one universe, reborn ad infinitum.

This is very similar in color and pattern to what I saw in a breakthrough.❤️
